I'm thinking of adding some tinfoils and balas. They should be docile enough to not eat my slightly smaller fish.

Paint time!
Couple coats of Kilz2
And a couple coats of flat black
The compartment on the right is for daily use storage, like food, water treatment, replacement filter socks, etc. which is why I painted it to match. The rest on the inside is mechanical access and won't be opened often so I felt it didn't need paint. Working on the doors, and I may have to re-do some things with the canopy before I paint it.

Fish anxiously awaiting new home.
200g will go where all that junk is along this wall, the wall is just under 9' so I'll have a bit of room on either side of the tank.

Raided the local lake and got a good score for decor! Two pieces of driftwood and some rocks with character.
You can't see it in the picture, but the root system grew around some rocks that are embedded in the driftwood.

Also picked up 4 tinfoil barbs and a golden dojo loach from the LFS yesterday, they're chillin in my growout tank happily.
I would still consider painting the inside of the stand to help repel incidental moisture or occassional spills. A rubber shower pan liner, cut to fit, would also reduce any damage to your home in the event of a sump malfunction incident.
Good thinking deeda, thanks.
Got that heavy thing moved into my livingroom.
The size is overwhelming, i'm very grateful for my wife putting up with my fish insanity.

Didn't end up using a filter sock holder, it slid over both pipes perfectly.
